Four-star linebacker Madden Faraimo is being recruited by nearly every school in the country, including USC Trojans. Faraimo is the No. 3 player in California and the No. 62 prospect in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.

The athletic linebacker currently plays for J Serra Catholic High School, giving the Trojans the proximity advantage in recruiting Faraimo. USC faces Notre Dame, Texas, and Washington for the top 100 prospects. He has already visited every school, but he plans to return to some schools for another visit.

According to On3’s Chad Simmons, Faraimo scheduled three key visits in November before making his decision. Faraimo was at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for USC’s season opener against Utah State, and he will be back for the final game of the year against Notre Dame on November 30.

Additionally, Simmons reports that Faraimo will visit Notre Dame on November 9 and plans to travel to Texas on November 23. Earlier this summer, Faraimo told Simmons he wanted to take his time with his decision.

“There is no wrong choice. I’m just trying to find the one that’s the best fit for me,” Faraimo said. “It’s going to be hard to say no to three schools, but it would be worse to say yes to just one and then turn around and say no and de-commit. My morals as a person don’t really match that, which is why I take more time to make the best decision.

If Washington doesn’t get a second visit from Faraimo, the Huskies’ chances of landing the four-star recruit will diminish. Notre Dame appears to have some rookie momentum as they hold a few predictions on 247Sports, but Faraimo hasn’t given much indication as to which school leads.

Trojan horses defensive coordinator By Anton Lynn has already made major improvements on defense in his first year at USC, and recruits like Faraimo will certainly help Lynn progress. The elite linebacker prospect told Simmons some of the reasons he’s still considering the Trojans.

“USC is unique in that they are close to home. I have cousins ​​who played there, my brother went there and my family down the street, so USC is different. The staff also stands out,” Faraimo said.

Faraimo is currently the highest-ranked uncommitted recruit in California, and he is the highest-ranked uncommitted linebacker in the country. The Trojans have number 10 recruitment ranks in the country with 23 commits according to 247Sports. Faraimo would be USC’s third-highest ranked recruit.
